Which variant to buy
Most buyers should start with the 1.0 X CVT at RM62,500: it has the same 996 cc, 97 hp petrol engine, FWD layout, CVT automatic and five-seat cabin as the rest. The 1.0 H CVT costs RM67,300, while the 1.0 AV CVT is RM72,600. On paper, you are not paying more for mechanicals, so check the equipment list and choose the H or AV only if their added trim justifies the RM4,800 or RM10,100 step up.

Perodua Ativa buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The Ativa keeps things straightforward: a compact five-seat SUV with a 97 hp petrol engine and CVT across all three variants. Its entry price sits below the RM69,999 starting point quoted for the Perodua QV-E, while the RM72,600 AV costs more than that rival’s starting price but less than the Perodua Aruz at RM72,900 and Perodua Traz at RM76,100. The key buying decision is equipment, not performance.
